Profile
The Axis powers, originally called the Rome–Berlin Axis and also Rome–Berlin–Tokyo Axis, was the military coalition which initiated World War II and fought against the Allies. Its principal members were Nazi Germany, the Kingdom of Italy and the Empire of Japan. The Axis were united in their similar far-right positions and general opposition to the Allies, but otherwise lacked comparable coordination and ideological cohesion.
